Romany creams cupcakes

After making cookies and cream ice cream yesterday I looked for a recipe to use up the rest of the cookies.

Below my adaption of the following recipe: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/657083. Instead of Oreos I used Romany Creams (yoghurt flavor) for the local South African touch. The icing is sweet and slightly tangy at the same time which combines well with the moist chocolate cake.

Ingredients for 10 cupcakes:

115g soft butter
115g castor sugar
2 eggs
100g self-raising flour
20g cacao powder
1 tablespoon milk

50g soft butter
80g plain cream cheese
175g icing sugar
6 Romany Cream cookies

I put the soft butter together with the sugar into the kitchen machine to whisk. Once combined I added the eggs, gave the mixture another stir with the kitchen machine and sifted in the flour and cocoa. Together with the milk I gave the dough a final mix. Once smooth I filled the mixture into medium-sized cupcake paper cases in a muffin form.
The cupcakes are now ready to be baked at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
Once cooled prepare the icing by mixing butter, cream cheese and icing sugar in the kitchen machine.        The cookies need to be shredded to fine crumbs and then added to the icing.
I used a piping bag to add the icing to the cupcakes.
